Hi

I have a weird problem with nginx. a specific host will not be resolved  
by nginx.

[error] 9934#0: \*22920 [fsdndm.fileserve.com](http://fsdndm.fileserve.com) could not be resolved (3:  
Host not found)

the system has no problem resolving this host and nginx can resolve  
every other host.  
(eg. ping [fsdndm.fileserve.com](http://fsdndm.fileserve.com) works ). I have tried everything but  
nginx can’t just resolve this one host.

Regards

Seems the problem was with the DNS not nginx.  
Thanks

you can try edit file /etc/hosts with your favorite editor and add

108.61.0.139 [fsdndm.fileserve.com](http://fsdndm.fileserve.com)  
and another resolved ip address of [fsdndm.fileserve.com](http://fsdndm.fileserve.com) 🙂  
that is just easy / simple to fix your problem
